Some years ago it was shown that, in some cases, a notion of locality can arise from the group of symmetry enjoyed by the theory, thus in an intrinsic way. In particular, when Moebius covariance is present, it is possible to associate some…
Local operators are the basic observables in quantum field theory which encode the physics observed by a local experimentalist. However, when gravity is dynamical, diffeomorphism symmetries are gauged which apparently obstructs a sensible…
Entanglement, as studied in quantum information science, and non-local quantum correlations, as studied in condensed matter physics, are fundamentally akin to each other. However, their relationship is often hard to quantify due to the lack…
Characterization and categorization of quantum correlations are both fundamentally and practically important in quantum information science. Although quantum correlations such as non-separability, steerability, and non-locality can be…
We introduce a way to compute scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory including the effects of particle production and detection. Our amplitudes are manifestly causal, by which we mean that the source and detector are always linked by…
We present a kind of model of quantum electrodynamics with nonlocal interaction, all the action and the equations of motion of charged particle and electromagnetic field are given. The main characteristics of the theory are: the model obeys…
We analyze the problem of reconstructing an unknown quantum state of a multipartite system from repeated measurements of local observables. In particular, via a system-theoretic observability analysis, we show that, even when the initial…
Causal set theory is an approach to quantum gravity in which spacetime is fundamentally discrete at the Planck scale and takes the form of a Lorentzian lattice, or "causal set", from which continuum spacetime emerges in a large-scale…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over a non-Archimedean local field $K$, and let $g$ be its Lie algebra. By a theorem of Harish-Chandra, if $K$ has characteristic zero, the Fourier transforms of orbital integrals are…
By performing a critical analysis of the fundamental equations of linear-response (LR) formalism in molecules, we explore the interplay between locality of the response density operator and numerical convergence of LR-related quantities. We…
The locality issue of quantum mechanics is a key issue to a proper understanding of quantum physics and beyond. What has been commonly emphasized as quantum nonlocality has received an inspiring examination through the notion of Heisenberg…
The Lieb-Robinson theorem states that locality is approximately preserved in the dynamics of quantum lattice systems. Whenever one has finite-dimensional constituents, observables evolving in time under a local Hamiltonian will essentially…
The aim of this article is to explore in all remaining aspects the spectral theory of locally normal operators. In a previous article we proved the spectral theorem in terms of locally spectral measures. Here we prove the spectral theorem…
The definition of scattering operator in Quantum Field Theory is critically reconsidered. The correct treatment of one-particle states is connected with separation of selfaction from interaction. The formalism of functional integral is used…
In the framework of local thermodynamic equilibrium by Buchholz, Ojima and Roos, a class S_x of observables, whose members are supposed to model idealized measurements of thermal properties of given states at spacetime points x, plays a…
One of the most important contributions of Heinz Langer in the area of operator theory in Krein spaces is the introduction of the notion of definitizable operators and the construction of the corresponding spectral function. In this note we…
We demonstrate how one can use machine learning techniques to bypass the technical difficulties of designing an experiment and translating its outcomes into concrete claims about fundamental features of quantum fields. In practice, all…
We introduce the characteristic operator as the generalization of the usual concept of a transfer function of linear input-plant-output systems to arbitrary quantum nonlinear Markovian input-output models. This is intended as a tool in the…
Colbeck and Renner [arXiv:0801.2218] analyzed a class of combined models for entanglements in which local and non-local hidden variables cooperate for producing the measurement results. They came to the conclusion that the measurement…
This paper aims at presenting a few models of quantum dynamics whose description involves the analysis of random unitary matrices for which dynamical localization has been proven to hold. Some models come from physical approximations…
